The Montana Department of Transportation is making improvements on 10.3 miles of Whitetail Road (S-399) that have caused maintenance issues for years in Jefferson County.
“There are sections of Whitetail Road that have historically been problem areas for Jefferson County,” said MDT Engineering Project Manager Shane Watson. “Moisture-sensitive soils consisting mostly of silt and clay make the road difficult to maintain. Moisture from rain and snow causes the soil and the road to deteriorate quickly.”
The project also includes rebuilding about 1,000 feet of Little Boulder Road to improve the current intersection, according to spokesman Brandon Coates
